Dress Code

Sixth Form Dress Code

At Richmond Sixth Form College, there is an expectation that students dress appropriately for a working College environment. Please remember that as a Sixth Form student, you are a role model for younger students and should dress and behave appropriately.

The dress code gives details on what is permitted and what is not:

Hats or hoods are not to be worn in College. This applies to both male and female students.

Shoulders and midriffs should be covered (i.e. no strappy tops or vests).

Ripped, torn or patched trousers are unacceptable.

Tracksuits and sports clothes are permitted only for practical lessons such as PE.

Shorts for both genders are permitted as long they are at least knee length and could not be considered beachwear. (Please note that shorts worn over tights are not acceptable.)

Skirts should not be “mini” skirts i.e. they should not be more than 10 cm above the knee.

Leggings should not be worn as trousers, but are acceptable under a longer style top or dress.

Modesty should be considered.

Flip-flops and other open-backed shoes are a health and safety concern and should not be worn in College.

Words and diagrams on clothing should not be offensive or possibly be seen as offensive (eg references to drugs or sex)
